Even as night arrived, Harvey York did not return.The news made Mandy Zimmer faint once more. She still could not accept the fact that her husband was already dead.Senior Zimmer organized a huge evening banquet, saying it was to mourn for Harvey York’s death. In truth, it was a celebration.The Zimmers had finally gotten rid of the live-in son-in-law!In her confusion, Mandy Zimmer was taken to the banquet by Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates.Xynthia Zimmer, on the other hand, had locked herself in her room with no intention of coming out. Hidden inside with no one to see, her tears kept flowing out to the point she was almost blinded by them.At the Zimmer Villa… Senior Zimmer stood up, trembling, as he held a cup full of wine.“Tonight’s goal of the banquet is simple!”“Number one: to restore Mandy Zimmer’s identity as a Zimmer!”“Number two: to celebrate Mandy Zimmer in finally regaining her freedom, completely free from her shackles!”“Number three: to preach our continu
“Do I look like a ghost to you?”Harvey York strode into the hall full of terrified people staring at him, and stopped right in front of Zack Zimmer.Zack Zimmer trembled and reached out to touch Harvey’s hand. Perplexed, he stammered, “It’s warm? You’re still alive? How could this be?”Harvey York replied coolly, “Seems like you really want me dead.”“Huh? Oh, no!” Zack Zimmer subconsciously denied the claim. He was not sure why he was so scared of Harvey York’s aura.“Harvey!”Mandy Zimmer had returned to her senses the moment Harvey appeared. She rushed toward him and hugged him tightly.Harvey York returned the hug and patted her on the head.“I’ve made you worry, I should’ve come back sooner…”“No, I’m glad you were able to come home…”The watching spectators grew disgusted by the heartwarming scene played by the two.Senior Zimmer barely stopped himself from trembling. He looked at Harvey York with a bewildered stare.“Impossible! The Silvas and Chopper Lyon wouldn’t
The next day, early morning.The Zimmer family had eagerly followed Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer to the Silva Corporation. Even the unstable Senior Zimmer had come along with them.How glorious this must be! There was no way he would allow himself to miss it!The Zimmers became exhilarated when they saw the Silva Corporation’s hundred-storey office building.Even though the Silva Corporation could not compare to the Sky Corporation, it was already quite an impressive company.Since Sky Corporation was directly under Prince York’s command, not just any ordinary company could compare itself to Sky Corporation.Even among the first-rated families in all of Buckwood, a business like Silva Corporation was scarce.Right now, the Zimmers were filled with excitement.Mandy Zimmer was no different.After finding the reception desk in the hall, Harvey York immediately expressed his intentions.“I’m Harvey York, I’m here to take over the Silva Corporation!”The receptionist looked at
The previous CEO of Silva Corporation was Leon Silva.But he had already resigned the day before, and had returned all of the Silvas’ shares.Quinton York’s most trusted subordinate, Joel Flynn, was temporarily appointed as Silva Corporation’s new CEO.He was a returned college student, trained by Quinton York during the last two years.When he unexpectedly received the news that he’d be appointed as the CEO of Silva Corporation the day before, Joel Flynn became excited to the point he could not sleep.To be the CEO of a million dollar corporation was truly the peak of life!As for why the Silvas had forfeited all of their shares and why Leon Silva would willingly give up his position of CEO, he did not know. He did not want to know, either.He only knew that he had successfully risen up the ranks.Quinton York only had one request for Joel Flynn: properly manage Silva Corporation. If anyone dared to take the Silva Corporation, he was asked to end their lives.Joel Flynn has t
Embarrassing!Truly humiliating!At that moment, the Zimmers felt like country bumpkins entering a city for the first time, like simpletons overwhelmed by luxurious surroundings. They were as ashamed as they could be.The Zimmers might not even have another chance at making a living in Buckwood. They’re being turned into laughing stocks here!“Hurry up and leave! Silva Corporation doesn’t welcome idiots!”“Security, get these poor people out of here!”At Joel Flynn’s orders, a crowd of security guards came out and surrounded them.Harvey York and the Zimmers were swiftly kicked out.“Bunch of idiots!” The security guard exclaimed.Every single one of the security guards were laughing their stomachs off. This was their first time in their career seeing people this dumb.Disgraceful!This was the most disgraceful thing that the Zimmers had experienced, by far!Even outsiders would soon know of their shameful experience!In the future, the Zimmers would be the biggest laughin
Seeing how Mandy Zimmer still tried to comfort herself even in a situation like this, Harvey York smiled.“Alright, I’ll listen to you in the future.”“But rest assured, I’ll have Silva Corporation sooner or later.”“When that time comes, I’ll change the name to Zimmer and hand it over to you as a gift.”Harvey York narrowed his eyes, he was truly prepared to do as he said. To him, this matter was nothing difficult anyway.As soon as Quinton York was dealt with, this plan would be set in stone.“Stop bragging already!”“I really want to slap you dead!”Senior Zimmer took a deep breath, and gave another warning.“Simon, take care of your own live-in son-in-law! He has nothing to do with the Zimmers in the future!”“Don’t drag the family down with you if something were to happen!”“If not, don’t blame us for kicking your family out!”“Leave!”Senior Zimmer turned to leave after speaking, boiling with anger.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates glared at Harvey York furiously and s
The social circle of the upper class elites in Buckwood wasn’t large, but it was not that small either.Yet in the span of a single day, news of the Silvas’ defeat in Buckwood had spread like wildfire.Aside from that, the upstarts in Buckwood, the Zimmers, actually tried to take over Silva Corporation.Naturally, this matter was treated as a joke by many. The Zimmers were unable to hold their heads up high anymore.Even Senior Zimmer didn’t dare to walk out of the villa, afraid that people would point fingers at him.In a single night, the Zimmers had become the laughing stock of Buckwood's upper class elites.The story had also cancelled out the sudden shock regarding the Silvas’ sudden retreat.When people talked about the Silvas, the Zimmers would be mentioned as well.Fortunately, Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer did not live with Simon Zimmer at the moment. If not, Simon Zimmer wouldn't have dared stepping outside with his family.Only Xynthia Zimmer knew that her brother-
“Oh, right. Godfather and Godmother are coming to Buckwood. When they get here, they’ll treat us to food. You should come along, brother-in-law!” Xynthia Zimmer told him the reason for her being there, grinning.“Sure.”Harvey York didn’t know much about how Xynthia Zimmer met a nobleman when she was born. Under the man’s guidance, she was recognized by a husband and wife with a high status as their goddaughter.Once every year, Xynthia Zimmer would go and stay with the married couple for a while.This married couple must have come from a powerful family. Even though they recognized Xynthia Zimmer as their goddaughter, they rarely involved themselves with the Zimmers.This was why Harvey York had never seen her godparents.Since they were people of high stature, something big must have happened if they wanted to come.That night, Simon Zimmer called over Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer to accompany him.Simon Zimmer sent Harvey a furious glare. He then took a deep breath and said,
After Harvey managed to deduce Dan's aim and plan, he then started to think about saving Tina. It was not because Tina was important, but it was simply because after saving her, it would immediately destroy Dan and Coco's perfect plan and disgust them.Harvey believed that if he kept on destroying Dan's plans, no matter how tough he was, he would eventually break down. That was why Harvey had already asked Alexei to send people to keep an eye on Tina, resulting in that scene just now.Most importantly, only after Tina managed to get her life back after suffering a near-death experience would she be willing to fully cooperate with her interrogation.Harvey opened the door and walked over to Tina.Tina was already lying on the ground, face down. The blood she lost made her shudder; even her breathing was becoming so weak that people could hardly hear her. Harvey narrowed his eyes and gave her a good look before saying to Alexei, "Get the first aid kit from the car and then call an am
"Oh, Tina. If the princess wants you dead, no one will spare you. Isn't it better to just die peacefully?" sighed Willy as he looked at Tina in her terrible state. Then, he pulled out his silver pistol and aimed at Tina's forehead from afar inside his Land Cruiser. He was going to pull the trigger.Boom!At the critical moment, a Range Rover suddenly appeared from the side and rammed into the Land Cruiser. The Land Cruiser's chassis shook and almost flipped over.Willy, who was aiming at Tina with his pistol, instantly lost his aim.Very quickly, they crawled out from their Land Cruiser. While they were still holding on to their weapons, they had already lost their prideful demeanor. Willy, especially. As an heir in Grand City, he had never received this level of injury before. At that moment, his body shuddered in anger."Which fool did this to me?! I will… Crap!" Before Willy could even finish cursing, he already saw Alexei give him a smile from the driver's seat in his Range
Unfortunately, while the voice messages were sent out, the opposite side refused to accept them. Tina could only scream when she looked at the red exclamation marks. The pursuers in the cars behind her had also opened their cars' sunroofs and taken out their crossbows. When the bolts they launched hit the road, they immediately created holes in the road from the explosions.Thunderblasts!They were the Martial Arts Weapons, Thunderblasts!When Tina saw what they were using, Tina knew that Coco had given them strict orders. They would not stop until they killed her. If she wanted to survive, she had to find someone else to help her.When that thought crossed her mind, Tina immediately turned into a corner on the highway, heading straight toward the Foster Residence's direction. Willy's expression also turned cold when he saw Tina's car change direction as he sat in a Land Cruiser behind her.As one of Dan's right-hand men, he would definitely do his best despite Coco only asking hi
Tina was no fool. The moment she saw the sleeping drugs, she saw through everything. What Coco's secretary asked her to write was not some complaints but her farewell note. With that note and her death, it would be enough to drag Harvey and Vaida into the mud.Tina knew very clearly about this because she had done something similar, treating others as pawns. However, she would never willingly become someone else's pawn, especially when she had to sacrifice her life for someone else's hand on this game board.When she was writing the complaint halfway, Tina made an excuse about her needing to go to the bathroom to compose herself. But at the window, she already saw some people outside planting some evidence while removing their traces.She shuddered. She could sense the cold hand of Death around her throat. She immediately escaped through the window and immediately ran to her own car, leaving without looking back.However, Coco's secretary made his preparations as well. The moment T
"Let's not talk about whether they fail or succeed," said Harvey with a sigh. "From what happened last night, Dan was going to fight me until the end. Next, he was going to manipulate another group to try and kill me again. Unless I leave Grand City, give up on the Three Halls, and my identity as the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, all this is never going to stop…"Vaida gave Harvey a thought and asked, "Then, what are you going to do next? If you want to leave, I can send you away."Harvey shook his head. "I haven't completed my objective for coming to Grand City yet. No need to rush. Not to mention, Dan is quite petty, which means that he isn't suitable to become the mayor of Grand City. This city is very important to Country H. While I'm not interested in becoming mayor, I wish the person who becomes the mayor is someone who can serve the country and its people."Hearing Harvey's words, there was a strange glint in Viada's eyes before she said with a smile, "If
The moment the name appeared in Sverker's mind, he opened his mouth with a hoarse voice. "You're… you're the Ministry of Defense's… living legend… The Chief Instructor?!"When Ghostface heard that name, he shuddered with an expression of total disbelief.Impossible!How was it possible!He was the scariest nightmare for the Island Nation and even Sky Plane itself!Harvey sighed and no longer looked at Sverker. Instead, he turned to look at Ghostface and narrowed his eyes. He smiled and said, "Ghostface, let me ask you a question. What is one plus one equal to?"Ghostface instinctively replied, "Two…'"Ha…" Harvey let out a long sigh with a face of regret. "You and Sverker are the same. Both of you have the same problem. You know too much…"In the next moment, the longsword in his hand instantly shattered into fragments and shot in two different directions. A simple action managed to clear the location of any murderous intentions as Ghostface and Sverker both held their throat a
"It's almost my turn, right?" After Harvey parried Sverker's attack easily, Harvey made his move and jumped into the air. The longsword in his hand swung down.The most powerful martial arts in this world were the ones that were the fastest.This attack was not complex at all, but just one look was enough to strike fear into one's heart. Especially Ghostface. When he saw Harvey's attack, there was an indescribable fear within him. He had a feeling that, if Harvey wanted, he could easily kill him on the spot.And then, he also understood that when Harvey was fighting him, he probably did not even use 70% of his full power."Will of the Blade!" When Harvey saw the attack, Sverker's expression also turned into shock. He had practiced the use of a sword for many years, but he never awakened to the Will of the Blade. He did not expect that Harvey would have awakened to it despite his young age!Whoosh!Sverker did not dare to face such a simple but terrifying attack head-on. All he co
Sverker smiled at Harvey, as if he had sensed Harvey staring at him. Then, he turned to look at Ghostface once more. "If you want me to do something about this, there won't be any problems. But remember. After this, I will lead all the operations in Grand City. The Origin Ninjas will be my subordinates."Ghostface's expression darkened a little, but he promptly replied, "That's fine. I agree on everyone's behalf.""Good. Remember your promise."After that, Sverker took another step forward. He immediately landed and stood on the hilt of one of the longswords impaled into the ground. His hands were behind him, looking like a peerless grandmaster.He proudly looked at Harvey before chuckling and asked, "You're the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey, am I correct? I heard you're the most powerful man in the alliance. But now that I get to see you in person, you look quite ordinary. Even if you're strong, you probably don't have the brain power since you walk
After giving it a few more looks, Harvey ignored the surroundings, and his gaze fell on Ghostface's figure ahead.When Ghostface had reached about a few hundred feet into the forest, he suddenly raised his hand, and a small repeating crossbow appeared in his hand. He did not even turn around and immediately pulled the trigger at where Harvey would be.Whoosh!Harvey's expression was calm. When he saw the bolts flying toward him, he simply stomped his foot on the ground. The rocks fired upward and instantly deflected all the bolts.Ghostface's expression changed once more when his attack was deflected, and he quickly retreated. Ghostface was escaping increasingly faster because it was obvious that he knew he would die a terrible death if he ended up in Harvey's hands.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he followed Ghostface without rushing. That was because Ghostface's actions were too intentional, as if he was worried that Harvey would not follow him at all. That was why, despite Harvey
